Celebrate your "fREADom" to read.

Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read
is observed during the last week of September each year.
Observed since 1982, the annual event reminds Americans  
not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted.

Banned Books Week (BBW) celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them.
